The surface waters of Loch Vale include lakes, streams,
ponds, and temporary melt pools, although we focus our research
efforts on lakes and streams only. There are three major drainage
lakes within the Loch Vale Watershed (Sky Pond, Glass Lake, and
The Loch). All the lakes in the basin are cirque lakes that were
formed during Pinedale age advances of Taylor and Andrew's Glaciers.
These lakes are all connected by Icy Brook, which originates at
the base of the snowfields in the cirque above Sky Pond and leaves
the watershed at The Loch outlet. For stream and lake chemistry
data, please refer to the data page on this website.
